Self care- walking and cycling

Self care- walking and cycling

There used to be a thread around exercise but I couldn't find it so starting a new one.

Recently my GP has been lecturing me about more exercise in order to loose some weight reduce my blood pressure and get some other stress related ailments under control. Now is a good time for me to start as I have just started a 4 week study break from uni.

My goal is to do minimum 30 mins (target 1 hour) per day 5 days a week of either walking or cycling. Posting here as a form of accountability. I cant use the weather as an excuse as we have both a treadmill and an indoor cycle trainer 😁

Well, they say inspiration is the greatest gift we can give, and you're inspiring others in the thread even if you're not getting out there every day @Determined Thanks (from a few in here) for the thread!

Got a few more steps in today.

Was going to walk to work but slept in.

Today's effort for me. Pretty slack but better than it has been.
